I migliori ristoranti di cucina altre cucine d'europanella città Stresa della Verbano-cusio-ossola

04/09/2025: La botte Stresa, a refined and stylish place, small and welcoming, the owner Matilde is always sunny, the staff and dining room are well-trained, the cuisine is delicious and will make you lose your mind.

26/08/2025: Very disappointing for a Michelin-starred restaurant Very ordinary charcuterie starter The main courses were okay Stale cookie dessert I would not recommend

07/10/2025: The dishes were prepared with care and taste. Although the portions aren't very generous, the prices are quite high. The place is small and fills up quickly, and the noise level can get very loud. Friendly service. Good vegetarian options.

01/10/2025: Good vegan menu option. Tasty dishes.

19/09/2025: Great Hotel, spotless cleanliness, great service and fantastic facilities.

17/09/2025: The backdrop still whispers of grandeur. But what was once noble restraint and cultivated elegance is now merely a shell. The rooms and hallways appear majestic; they are the showpiece of a house that still remembers its greatness. The garden is enchanting, the lobby welcomes with a dignified pose. But beware, if you look closer. There was no corkscrew in the room. I politely asked for one. The concierge sent me to the bar without comment. There, the bartender first looked at me in incomprehension, understood after a brief explanation, and finally told me I had to take the bottle to the bar personally to have it opened. In a five-star hotel. In Italy. In the land of wine. An absurd ritual of helplessness disguised as a service process. Then in the garden: white wine in a plastic cup. And breakfast marks the moment when a grand hotel suddenly becomes just a hotel. When I politely asked for a daily newspaper, the lady looked at me as if I'd asked for something long forgotten. I mentioned examples—Le Monde, Financial Times, FAZ—but the response remained a questioning look and ultimately a simple no. She asked me to express my request at the reception desk. There, the young colleague was equally perplexed, while the concierge next to her limited herself to a brief shake of the head. No apology, no smile, no semblance of understanding. Just silent helplessness. The silver spoon on the table wasn't polished, but simply dirty. I asked for a replacement. It came. Without comment. The breakfast room is dominated by the zeitgeist. iPads flicker like modern illuminated signs, while tracksuits and muscle shirts are displayed with the ease of elegant dressing gowns. The cell phone lies like a talisman next to the cutlery, always within reach, always more important. And then this salmon. Carefully arranged, as if it were the signature dish of a Nordic Michelin-starred chef. The lasting impression is harder to digest than what's served. The Caesar salad at lunchtime. A farce. A low point in terms of taste, a tragedy in terms of aesthetics. Not a greeting from the kitchen, but a culinary swan song. More a symbol of Rome's decline than a reminiscence of its glorious past. And then those guests who flaunt their Louis Vuitton bags, as if the logo conferred class. But you can't buy style. That was once known in hotels like this. Where discreet old money once lodged, selfie money now sleeps. Loud, self-absorbed, with no sense of the place they're entering. What remains is a grand hotel that no longer shines, but merely glitters. And if Hemingway had entered the lobby today, he would have remained silent, taken a look, and then sat down at the bar. Not to write. But to forget. One bright spot remains, however: the spa area. Tasteful, well-maintained, tranquil. A place where you can still feel what a house like this once stood for. There, in the pleasant silence of the steam bath or when gazing out into the garden from the relaxation room, it shimmers. A memory of true class.

14/10/2025: Everything was excellent and the kindness of the staff made for a wonderful evening.

12/10/2025: Excellent seafood dishes and a wide selection of select wines. Fresh fish, caught by the Ruffoni brothers.

26/09/2025: Great food,excellent friendly waiters,very attentive. Word of warning the archways are not doorways,just very polished mirrors, we both nearly walked into them.

08/09/2025: Very nice cozy restaurant with good service. The only request: please replace the TORTELLI RIPIENI DI SCAMPO on the menu. It's beautiful presentation, but absolutely not tasty and smells like an old rag. Sorry. But nevertheless, the other dishes were quite tasty and overall we liked the restaurant.
